Harris Obliterates All Fundraising Records as Momentum Keeps Growing

Harris Obliterates All Fundraising Records as Momentum Keeps Growing - The New Republic via Yahoo Finance

Vice President Kamala Harris has raised a record-breaking $1 billion in cash in less than 80 days on the campaign trail, according to three people familiar with the matter who spoke with The New York Times.

That total includes fundraising from both her campaign and party committees such as the Democratic National Committee, and does not include money donated to aligned super PACs.

The record $1 billion figure is far more than what Trump has raised in a whole year of campaigning. Trump has raised around $853 million in 2024 according to public statements tabulated by the Times.

Harris also outpaced Trump threefold in cash over the summer, raising $361 million in August to his $130 million. Three-quarters of the more than one million new donors to Harris in August did not contribute in the previous presidential election, according to her campaign.


Let's keep that momentum going, ESPECIALLY AT THE BALLOT BOX.

GOTV!!!!!!!!!

The two checks I dropped in the mail this morning. Hopefully a whole bunch of snail mail from old folks heading to DC as we hunt and peck.

This year, for the first-time ever, I've signed up for monthly contributions to the Senate and the House fund-raising campaigns. I also contributed (yet again) to Harris through the Women of Star Trek for Kamala Harris zoom call. They've raised over $50,000 through that call.

What do y'all think? Any suggestions?

I have a Kamala tshirt that I love and wear a lot, wore today.

I got it for 3 week road trip in September, best conversation was a group of young girls early 20's in Canada (Tofino, BC) who said they are hoping she will win.

Be prepared for a bunch of negative nasty ads everywhere. The Rethuglican party offers nothing for 99.9% of Americans. VOTE BLUE!
